Mississippi Satsujin Jiken was the second text adventure game for Famicom, the first one being Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (FC). It is a port of the Western computer title Murder on the Mississippi (C64), although it differs a lot from the original game.

The player controls a Sherlock Holmes-esque detective named Charles Foxworth, along with his servant Regis. While traveling on a boat from St. Louis to New Orleans, the two sleuths find a dead body. So now it's up to them to solve the mystery before the boat reaches New Orleans.
